Goalkeeper and Defence

GK – David Raya – the Spaniard didn’t impress against Villa and he will be hoping for an improved display in Munich.


RB – Ben White – the fullback has been one of Arsenal’s most consistent performers in recent months and his job will be to stop Bayern from posing a threat from out wide.

CB – William Saliba – the 23-year-old didn’t do a lot wrong at the weekend (with his centre-back partner mostly to blame) but he will need to be more composed than he was in the first leg versus Bayern.

CB – Gabriel – the Brazilian’s form has deserted him at the worst possible time. He is though a top defender when he is at his best so you can’t see Arteta dropping him.

LB – Oleksandr Zinchenko – Jakub Kiwior couldn’t deal with Leroy Sane at the Emirates and the Ukrainian’s experience should mean that he gets the nod to start at left-back.
